Reisehaandbog over Norge

Reisehaandbog over Norge is a Norwegian travel guide book first published in 1879 by Yngvar Nielsen.

[3] He crossed the Jostedalsbreen by foot in 1864, from Jostedal to Stryn; this visit sparked his interest for the glacier, the surrounding districts, and tourism.

[2] In 1873 he was offered the opportunity to write a travel guide to Norway,[2] which was issued in German as Norwegen.

The guide book covered themes such as transport, lodging, prices, mountain passages, distances, glacier walks, and historical and cultural overviews.

Among the map suppliers for the book were topographer and military officer Kristen Gran Gleditsch and engineer Gunnar Sætren.
